Hondurans are voting in a general election featuring five presidential candidates, with the race primarily between Rixi Moncada (Libre party), Salvador Nasralla (Liberals), and Nasry "Tito" Asfura (National Party). Donald Trump has endorsed Asfura and threatened to cut US financial aid to Honduras if he loses. Opinion polls show a large percentage of voters are still undecided. Voters are also choosing all 128 members of congress and almost 300 local representatives. Moncada has accused Trump of meddling in the election. The US sent over $193 million to Honduras last fiscal year, but Trump has already reportedly cut $167 million in economic and governance aid that had been earmarked for 2024 and 2025.
